Question

Lightroom catalog update

The catalog updates messed up all my catalogs! It completely deleted some photos whereas others are marked as " not found " by Lightroom. Is there any way to fix this without manually importing every single photo into a new catalog?

It is possible that the wrong catalog file was upgraded, as the upgrade process will not delete photos or mark them not found (unless of course they were not found before the catalog upgrade).

 

Please use your operating system's search feature and search all folders on all disks for files whose name ends with .LRCAT and then open/upgrade each one until you find the catalog you want.

    That is not possible as I am only using one catalog. My files are at the same place they have always been.

    Sometimes people have created other copies of their catalog file without realizing it. Do the search that I suggested.
